​Following the vision of the former head of the school for cinema communications at the Sapir Academic College, Prop. Bereshit, and Eli Moyal the former Mayor of Sderot, the Sderot Cinematheque was founded in 1999. The Sderot Cinematheque is the first educational and cultural institution dedicated to the cinema in Southern Israel. Its vision from the start was to bring public attention to the cultural life for the population in the southern part of the country and also to help close the cultural gap between the central and peripheral areas of Israel. Among many cinema related activities, the Cinematheque hosts The Cinema South International Film Festival.
